New Business Added

This webhook event can be configured to receive real-time notifications when a new business (payer or employer) is added to TaxBandits API using the Business/RequestByUrl endpoint. The webhook payload will contain the completed details of the business.

Steps to Configure​

  1. Log in to Developer Console
    Navigate to 'Settings' → 'Webhook Notifications'.

  2. Add a webhook
    Click 'Add Webhook' and select the event type 'New Business Added'.

Business Complete Webhook

  1. Provide a callback URL
    Enter a valid HTTPS callback URL (maximum 500 characters). Ensure that your callback URL follows these best practices.

    • The API validates this URL by sending a sample JSON payload.
    • The webhook will be activated only after your endpoint responds with an HTTP 200 status code.

  2. Configure a notification email
    Provide a notification email address. TaxBandits will use this email to alert you if webhook delivery attempts fail.

Receiving webhook requests​

Once the webhook is configured and the callback URL is successfully authenticated, TaxBandits will send an HTTP POST request to your callback URL whenever a filing status changes.

Each request contains a JSON payload with submission details and record-level status information.

    {
        "BusinessId": "6a0628bc-7b9c-40c6-9a39-b16848c45b88",

        "BusinessNm": "Snowdaze LLC Company",
        "TINType": "SSN",
        "TIN": "XXX-XX-6526",
        "Email": "sample@bodeem.com",
        "Phone": "(478) 125-6352",
        "IsForeign": false,
        "USAddress": {
            "Address1": "42417 HWY 195",
            "Address2": "Suite 47A1",

            "ZipCd": "35565"
        },
        "ForeignAddress": null
    }

Responding to webhook requests​

Your application must respond with HTTP 200 OK to acknowledge receipt of a webhook request.

  • Any response other than 200 is treated as a failed delivery
  • HTTP redirects (301) are not supported and are treated as errors
  • Your endpoint must respond within 5 seconds, or the request is considered a timeout

If a webhook delivery fails or times out, TaxBandits will retry the request up to 9 times within 24 hours.

Validating webhook requests​

Before processing a webhook payload, you must verify that the request originated from TaxBandits.Refer to the Webhook validation documentation to learn how to authenticate incoming webhook requests.
